Spain debrief: part 1
We reflect on last week's RallyRACC Catalunya - Rally de España, which could prove decisive in the outcome of both the WRC drivers' and manufacturers' titles.
Stage of the Rally
Sunday morning's first pass through Santa Marina (SS16) might not have done much to upset the established order at the top of the leaderboard, but it may prove to be one of the season's defining moments.
When a fighting Thierry Neuville took a big cut into a right bend and his Hyundai i20 emerged with broken front right suspension, the resulting retirement left a wide open door for Sébastien Ogier to pass through and claim his fifth straight drivers' title.
It's not over yet, of course, but Ogier will take some stopping from here.
Surprise of the Rally
Andreas Mikkelsen has collected a variety of different coloured driving suits this year with stints at Skoda and Citroën before joining Hyundai before Spain.
He settled quickly into his new uniform and led after the opening predominantly gravel leg. Road position helped and his advantage was only 1.4sec, but the phrase 'shock overnight leader' was appropriate.
Driver of the Rally
Kris Meeke was supreme on Spain's asphalt. His victory further emphasised that while Citroën still has work to do with its C3 World Rally Car on gravel, in the right hands it is the class of the field on sealed surfaces.
But we're looking elsewhere for our top performer. It's six years since Juho Hänninen has competed in Spain, but you wouldn't have known it from his performance.
Two stage wins in a Toyota Yaris for the likeable Finn helped carry him to fourth, on the back of fourth in Germany and third in Finland in the previous rounds. His future is currently unclear as we await news on Toyota's 2018 line-up, but he's in a rich vein of form right now.
One to Forget
If ADAC Rallye Deutschland was a shocker for Hyundai Motorsport, then Spain proved even worse for the Korean manufacturer.
Neuville, Mikkelsen and Dani Sordo all posted fastest times, but when the points were counted on Sunday afternoon, there weren't many.
The team was left rueing a potential weak link in the i20's suspension which sidelined all three drivers, ended its manufacturers' title bid and handed Neuville a mountain to climb in his drivers' championship challenge.

Here are two great pairs that are fun alternatives to your basic solid color flips. If money is no object, you'll love the Royal Plush Olive Fluer De Lis Flip Flops ($70), and you'll definitely get your money's worth; the sandals are embellished with rhinestones and a metal fluer de lis pendant. For something a bit less pricey, there's the Havaianas Hearts Rose ($18); the colorful heart pattern looks almost good enough to eat!

Psycho ,Lazy, Awkward, Geek ,Out there, Down to earth, we hear these terms all of the time.Most of us use them in our daily lives but what do they mean? Who do they refer to? If we were to fit in to one of theses category's can we ourselves decide when we change from one to the other. Is a person always destine to be caged in by the emotion that creates the atmosphere around him or her we call our being our essence.
Many people believe change is beyond them but I'm here to tell you that's far from the truth.Refinement can take place in many ways.Ive taken the time to put it into Three simple understood classes.
1.The turtle walk- The tw is when someone transforms slowly as the name would depicted.The motivations is not there and is usually from and out-side source which causes a forced transition .The individual is pushed in a path he or she doesn't want to go so it becomes a up hill battle toward self progression.
2.The rapid rush- This is a dangerous course,this takes place when a person wants to make a difference's in his life but isn't sure where to start so he or she moves hastily choosing various paths inconsistently , many times these new and dangerous behaviors do create a revamped life feeling but no true progress in attained.
3.Stroll To happiness- Simplely put you set your mind on what you want and you go get it.Slow and steady minded don't forget it is a stroll.This is the best kind of change one that's tamed and at the individuals own pace.
Watch where your life's headed
"You must see the end to know where to begin"-Bradley Campbell
"Walking with scissors is just as bad as running because its not the pace your moving at that's going to cause you to hurt yourself its when you trip that the harm comes"-Bradley Campbell
Teach the head and the body will follow,with that being said here are
Fives Rules For Brain-Body Health
1.Drink plenty of water and green tea (not many calories in theses).
Reason-Your brain is 80 percent water,proper hydration is key and the first rule in The BB Health system.
2.Limit caffeine intake(as much as you can)
Reason-Caffeine dehydrates the brain,which makes it harder to think.Also causes increase muscle tension.
3.Reduce salt intake and increase potassium intake.
Reason-A high Salt intake diet has been proven to raise hypertension.Potassium contains vital electrolytes.
4.Plan snacks
Reason- Going to long without eating will cause your blood sugar levels to drop too low.Low blood sugar levels have been associated with poor impulse control and irritability.
5.Take a daily Multivitamin/mineral supplement.
Reason- Lets face it most of us are to busy to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.These little guys give us the nutritious we miss in our busy day.

People are starting to realize wonder where all the money was pissed away to. The answer, of course, is that most of it was pissed away on affirmative action loans to members of protected minorities. Whose fault is this?
Steve Sailer blames primarily Karl Rove and George Bush
There is much truth in this, but I would primarily blame Basel II.
Under Basel II, what matters to a financial institution is not whether its assets are safely invested, but whether they are officially declared to be safely invested. The people in charge of deciding what is officially safe have no incentive to make their estimates accurate, but powerful incentives to make their estimates politically correct.

Shared Community means Weaver Street Market is a vibrant community hub for enjoyable work and shopping experiences, fun events, and connecting with the greater community. Two initiatives in this area continue to evolve and grow—WSM's Cooperative Community Fund and our Food House Garden—and we have exciting plans for launching a Weaver Card, which will have a significant impact on our community outreach programs.
Cooperative Community Fund awards grants to TABLE and PORCH
Weaver Street Market's Cooperative Community Fund (CCF) will award $3,020 in grants to two local nonprofit groups for their projects that address Access to Healthy Food. The CCF Committee, which is composed of consumer and worker owners, selected the two recipients for innovation, collaboration, and the benefits of the project to the community:
$2,000 for PORCH's proposed nutritional education project—PORCH Eats Fresh. The one-year pilot project will provide education on healthy eating and lessons for developing cooking skills for the families who participate in PORCH's Food for Families program. Many of the participating families are not fully benefiting from the fresh food that they receive because they are unsure of how to prepare it. PORCH Eats Fresh will provide families with healthy recipes for the food included in their monthly delivery and will hold cooking demonstrations at the food pickup sites. The grant will purchase basic spices and herbs used in the recipes and pay for printing the recipes and assembling them into binders for easy use in the kitchen. A team of nutrition professionals will collaborate on the project to ensure that the recipes are appropriate for the families' food preferences, which vary widely based on their cultural group.
$1,020 for TABLE's proposed field trip project—TABLE On the Go. The field trips will be designed so that children served by TABLE's programs have the opportunity to visit farms where local food is grown and to participate in educational classes offered on the farms. The grant will be used to fund two pilot field trips to Maple View Farms in Hillsborough. The field trips will start with a healthy picnic lunch presented by TABLE's SnackChef volunteers, who will demonstrate how to prepare the food and then send home the recipes and ingredients for the kids to prepare the food at home. The field trip will include several of Maple View's activities for children, such as visiting (and petting!) some of the animals who live on the farm and a fun hayride all across the farm. The kids will take two farm classes about how their food grows—an "All about the Dairy" class, which is especially significant since Maple View Farms donates fresh milk to these children through TABLE's Weekend Backpack program, and an "All about Autumn" class, through which the children will learn about life cycle of apples and pumpkins and how they grow.
Employees cultivate a community garden at the Food House
Weaver Street Market employees at the Food House have cultivated a beautiful garden that features a variety of fruits (blueberries, blackberries, apples, persimmons, kiwis), vegetables (tomatoes, beans, squash, peppers), herbs (rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, mint), as well as native plans and insects that build a healthy eco-system. The garden is tended by employee volunteers, who share the bounty from the garden. Employees from our stores have been so captivated by the gardens on their visits that some now return to volunteer in the gardens as well. The garden also provides a relaxing space for employee lunches.
New Weaver Card to keep money local and benefit community programs
Each year the co-op pays more than half a million dollars in credit and debit cards fees—that's as much as an entire year's profit! To reduce these fees, Weaver Street Market has promoted gift cards as a no-fee alternative to bank cards. At last year's annual meeting, owners made a number of the suggestions for making gift cards easier to use and recharge.
This fall when our point of sale system is updated, we hope to implement a Weaver Card program that offers a no-fee alternative. Here's how we think the program will work:
• Offer a Weaver Card—a gift card that we manage and that can be recharged online.
• Donate the first year's savings in bank fees to community programs that promote access to healthy food, including the Cooperative Community Fund and Community Food Partnerships.
• Provide a $10 Weaver Card as a benefit for new owners and provide easy-steps for using the card and information on why using the card matters to the co-op.
• Promote the benefits of using the Weaver Card at the registers and on our website blog.

Bread Bags
Plastic bread bags are made to preserve freshness of different kinds of breads, biscuits or sandwiches or bakery items. Polypropylene and Polyethylene have different barrier qualities and are use for different baked good applications. See information below for details. Depending on the plastic bread bag that is selected and which bread is inserted and if sealed properly with twist ties or other closure options, prevents moisture from reaching the bread, or allows moisture to escape, so that the bread stays fresh longer.

Choosing a Dental Implant Professional
Dental implants are a realistic and viable solution to the often serious oral health problem of missing teeth. The permanence of dental implants is the main reason they are highly recommended by dentists. Dental implants offer more natural looking tooth replacement than other options and are easier to maintain. But how do you go about choosing the right dentist to install permanent dental implants? Continue reading for tips on how to choose the right dental implant professional.
Given the serious and permanent nature of dental implants, it is important that implants be placed properly and safely. This requires the dental professional to have education, training, and experience providing implants. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry maintains a list of credentialed practitioners who are dental implant experts. These individuals meet the training and competence requirements of the AAID. The ideal dentist for your implants must also be able to assess your condition and formulate a treatment plan that is right for you.
If you're looking for professional dental implants serving Orlando , look no further than the dentists at Hunter's Creek Dental. We offer advanced, friendly dental care with exceptional results.

Wicker Fiber
Wicker Fiber
Wicker are weaved materials usually made from plant stalks, branches or shoots. Mixed with rigid materials, wicker make good furniture and accents. While organic materials add flair to most furniture, plastic fibers make sturdier options. Wicker are usually light weight yet sturdy, hence, it make a popular choice for outdoor furniture and those that require frequent rearrangement.
Choose from our wide array of natural and synthetic wicker or better yet choose a combination of both. Our wicker furniture range from benches, chairs, stools, tables and even sofas. If you want a furniture that is both durable and stylish, go for synthetic but if you're going for an organic and au natural feel, rattan and bamboo are the best options.

I was walking on 2nd St. in downtown Austin when I walked past a couple
sitting at the outside bar at Jo's Coffee House. I did a double-take when
I saw his t-shirt and turned myself around. The first photography book
I wrote was entitled: "Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques
for Location Lighting" (Amherst Media). I have been working
on Downsizing my inventory ever since.
I have to say that success in the rigorous job of paring away unnecessary gear; and keeping shiny new (unnecessary) gear at bay, has been mixed. There is always the promise that one piece or another will solve all of my technical and creative roadblocks and propel me toward a life of artistic satisfaction. It ain't necessarily so.
Last week I took the last of my big, 29 pound (empty), Pelican hard cases to Goodwill Industries in the hope that they'll find someone who needs valuable protection for their gear and also has the strength and endurance to wield that protection. I've given up. My newer cases are much lighter and offer much the same level of protection.
This week I was able to pass along four big, Fotodiox professional fluorescent light fixtures. At one point they seemed to have so much promise to me. They satisfied my need for continuous light that didn't also emulate the heat profile of a blast furnace but they've been superseded in my kit by much smaller, lighter and more color accurate LED lights.
Last month I met a young, student photographer, struggling to use a 4x5" inch view camera on a spindly and much abused, lightweight tripod. I walked back to the car and grabbed a medium sized Benro tripod and handed it over with no strings attached. Anyone attempting urban street photography with a 4x5 in 100(f) heat at least deserves a stable platform, and it helped me reduce down the tripod inventory to a still embarrassing five models. On a cheerier note I'm down to only two monopods!
Today's clumsy waddle towards minimalism in the studio is about picture frames. I have dozens in several sizes, from local shows I've done over the years. I am in the process of pulling the prints out and cleaning them up for another trip to Goodwill Industries where I hope a struggling artist will discover said frames and mount their first big show in repurposed rectangular boundaries.
I understand what drives us to try new stuff and experiment but I'm now coming to grips with the fact that it's equally important to let go of things and reduce the clutter that takes up space; on our shelves and in our minds. And if we can pass the pieces along to be re-purposed then all the better.
Loved the man's t-shirt. I need one like that to wear during the sporadic studio purges.

Breast Cancer Treatments
Breast Cancer Treatments
Treating breast cancer often requires a combination of treatment types, including surgery, medicine therapy (such as chemotherapy and hormone therapy), and radiation. At UVA, your treatment team will include surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists and other experts — all specialized in treating breast cancer and all working with you to fight your cancer. They'll meet as a team to discuss your care and work on a unique treatment plan just for you.
The Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer is the second leading type of cancer in women so it is important to perform self exams, get yearly mammograms usually starting at age 40 (depending on risk factors and family history) and communicate with your doctor if you notice unusual changes in one or both breasts. Early detection is critical because it expands the treatment options that are available to you upon diagnosis and increases the chances of recovery. The UVA Breast Care Program has a robust breast cancer screening program, offering digital and 3D mammography, breast tomosynthesis and more.

My daughter, Madelyn is a dancer and has to have her hair up in a bun for dance class. We try, often, to jazz up the classical ballet bun and have a little fun. We call this one the "fun-bun."
First, divide hair into 2 equal sections.
Next, divide one of the halves into 2 more sections.
Make all 3 sections into pony tails.
Braid the 2 pony tails on the left.
Twist and wrap the pony tail on the right into a bun and secure with bobby pins.
Cross the braids into an 'X' and secure with bobby pins around the bun. Add a flower or a bow and you have a fun hairstyle for an active little girl!

Miramichi Leader KRIS MCDAVID
Miramichi (08/19/2014) – A forestry firm headed up by a veteran industry executive described as a pioneer in wood pellet plant construction is moving ahead swiftly with plans to erect a facility in the Miramichi region after receiving the backing of the provincial government on Tuesday.
Premier David Alward joined Ross Creelman, president of Northern Energy Solutions, to confirm the province has issued a letter of intent to the company guaranteeing it a Crown wood supply of 378,000 cubic-metres of softwood if the project moves forward.
The official announcement was made at a news conference on Tuesday afternoon at the Rodd Miramichi River Hotel.
Creelman, who owned Fredericton-based forestry company Marwood Ltd. before recently selling it, says Northern Energy Solutions is poised to commit $400,000 in order to draft a feasibility study to examine the potential of establishing a pellet mill in the Miramichi region.
Creelman, who is responsible for building Canada's first ever pellet plant several years back, said he has long been intrigued by the possibility of setting up a facility that could process and provide a stable market for low-grade fibre in the Miramichi region, much of which is going to waste.
He said he's optimistic about the project's potential and looks forward to moving ahead with the process.
"I have always been interested in forestry projects in New Brunswick, and I believe this would be ideal for the region – our pre-evaluation study was very positive and now we are taking it to a more detailed stage," Creelman said in a statement.
"We look forward to getting the study underway and we will keep the public apprised of our progress. This plant would provide an excellent vehicle for the use of pulp in the area which is currently being left on the forest's floor because pulp mills in the region have closed."
Creelman noted the plant would employ about 25 direct workers and create approximately 75 jobs in the woods while producing 200,000 tonnes of pellets each year.
The talk of setting up a pellet plant in Miramichi has been ongoing for several years. At one point a few years back, the region's private woodlot owners struck a tentative agreement with Swedish energy giant Vatenfall AS to move ahead with establishing a facility near the Northumberland Forest Products Marketing Board building in the Miramichi Industrial Park, located in the Newcastle end of the city.
While that plan ultimately fizzled, Alward said in a news release that he's intrigued by Creelman's proposal and impressed with his vision thus far.
He said Creelman's 40-year track record in the sector speaks for itself.
Alward also credited the province's recently-introduced forestry strategy, which is freeing up an additional 660,000 cubic-metres of Crown timber for private industry, as a key reason the pellet plant project is able to move forward.
"Our government is fully supportive of the overall investment and job creation that would result from a pellet plant, which is why we are pleased to provide the wood allotment from Crown lands," said the premier.
"I look forward to the results of their research and anticipate that together we can create new forestry jobs in this area for generations to come."
Wood pellets are a form of wood fuel and are typically made through a process that compresses sawdust and other wood waste used in the milling process.
Private woodlot owners have, over the years, expressed concern that much of their harvests, especially the lower grade pulpwood and biomass, is going unused and being left to sit on the forest floor because there is no stable market to send it to.
According to details of this latest proposal released Tuesday, private woodlot owners are destined to play a big role. Northern Energy Solutions says it will need upwards of 100,000 cubic-metres of wood from private sources each year.
The product the Miramichi plant would churn out will likely be shipped overseas, specifically to European markets, where the pellets would be used as an alternative to coal-fired energy plants.

Ideas for Fun Activities for the Elderly
There are many fun activities elderly people can take part in to keep their minds sharp, bodies strong and spirits high. Whether it's spending time outdoors, playing games with family and friends, or spending time working on a favorite hobby, doing things they love can benefit the overall wellbeing of all seniors.
Fun Activity Ideas for Seniors
Being Outdoors
Seniors who enjoy being outside may find birdwatching a fascinating hobby. They can spot birds or look for feathers while taking a nature walk, or identify species from the comfort of their own backyard while they listen to the birds sing.
Other fun outdoor activities include:
- Picnics
- Fishing
- Treasure hunts
- Gardening
- Outings to parks and other places of interest
Arts and Crafts
Whether it's learning a new craft or continuing with a favorite hobby, most arts and crafts activities can be modified as needed so that seniors with certain physical limitations can still enjoy a favorite pastime..
A very popular activity for the elderly is ceramics. Many ceramic projects only need light sanding and painting, resulting in a beautiful and rewarding finished piece. This type of project offers a wonderful way for seniors to pass the time either at home or at senior community centers
Other suitable crafts for senior citizens include:
- Painting
- Drawing
- Sewing
- Knitting
- Crocheting
- Photography
- Scrapbooking
- Making greeting cards
- Sponge painting stationary
- Woodworking projects such as building birdhouses or making clocks
- Making foam magnets
- Flower arranging
Games and Puzzles for the Elderly
Many elderly people enjoy spending time playing games or working on puzzles with family or friends.
There are a number of companies that offer a large selection of games and puzzles that are adapted for people who have physical limitations such as low vision or arthritis. Some of these companies include:
While many seniors enjoy traditional games like bingo or bridge, others have fun playing nostalgic board games, games that challenge the mind and computer games. Break out one of the following well-known board games when you want to liven things up.
- Life
- Dominoes
- Yahtzee
- Operation
- Trivial Pursuit
- Scrabble
- Monopoly
Other examples of games that are fun for senior citizens to play include:
- Senior Moments, a memory game
- Trivia games
- Scene It
- The Reminiscing Game, a game made for senior citizens that challenges the memory with great nostalgia questions
Working on puzzles helps keep the mind sharp and alert. The same companies that offer adapted games for people with physical limitations also offer jigsaw puzzles with oversized puzzle pieces and crossword and word search books printed in large print.
Visit Senior Centers
Naturally not every senior has the same interests or physical and mental abilities. What delights one person may seem completely uninteresting to someone else. Joining a senior center is a great way to meet other people who share similar interests and engage in a wide range of activities.
Although each senior center is different, they generally all offer:
- Card and board games
- Arts and crafts
- Exercise, yoga or tai chi classes
- Educational programs
- Trips
- Dances
- Lectures
- Support services and resources for seniors
Never Too Old to Have Fun
Regardless of age, everyone loves to have fun, and older seniors are no exception. Having a good laugh and sharing enjoyable activities can be a wonderful way to stay actively engaged in life.

Washington County State Recreation Area is a 7 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Nashville, Illinois that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Trail is mainly on paved road (5 miles), then turns into timbered trail (2 miles) on north east side of the lake. Quite a bit of wildlife sightings and great views of the lake. Trail is marked but is overgrown in a few areas. State recreation area (park) with camping, fishing and wildlife.
The hike was a lot of fun and there was a beautiful grove of sunflowers. My friend and I did manage to miss the trail because it starts on the road and then there is a hidden turn off about 4.5 miles into the hike. We ended up walking for probably another 3/4 mile before we realized we were no longer on the trail. On the way back we did find the trail and started to hike it. It was fairly overgrown and we quickly turned back the way we came because we were being eaten by mosquitoes. That being said we had a great time!
We never found the trail in the woods. The map directions don't take you to the trailhead. Disappointing.
I only did the 2 miles through the woods portion of this trail. Unless your into walking the 5 miles of pavement, skip this portion. Hilly and steep in some portions. The trail hasn't been taking care of in awhile and there are quite a few obstructions throughout. We drove the 5 miles of road to get to the wooded trail head portion and if you don't know what you're looking for you could pass it by on the little gravel road you travel down to get there. During high water forget about it though! We parked at the top of the hill that the gravel road comes to before it meets pavement again. The trail is well marked with white arrow type markers high upon the trees. Different species of trees you will find marked also. The trail comes out at The Shady Rest Camping Area and continues back onto the road in the park again. Not a bad little trail and would probably more inviting when things green up again.
Good trail for hiking/walking. Mostly road with about 2 miles of trail through woods.

***Help motivate me to keep training by donating here to my charity, No Kid Hungry***
Well I made it through January and I am definitely starting to get stronger. Once the semester began it really got difficult to juggle the fact that I basically have to do two a days. It's was also really cold in the mornings so managing the car and the bike and indoor training was stressful. It is nice that it is starting to get a little warmer, 40+ and a ride to work is no big deal. Thursdays though are incredibly difficult. I'm fine on my swim in the mornings but my late Wednesday nights with the student government make the evening run a battle. This week I skipped it and moved it to Friday but that meant I had no day off and I paid for it on my long bike ride. I've really got to figure it out soon before the training plan adds a Friday bike and I lose my day off anyway.
My knee is holding up well, the redesign of my weight training has helped significantly. I even took the knee brace off for three runs! Some days it feels a little wonky but I guess having part of your meniscus removed inevitably makes things interesting. The foam roller was a great addition and though it hurts it made a big difference in stretching. The one odd part of this month was a weird stalker watching me swim every morning. After a few weeks it was time to let him know that I do not appreciate being watched. An awkward interaction but I have not seen him since.
11,250 meters of swimming, 205 miles of biking, and 52 miles of running down, so much more to go. Things start to pick up in February with my first swim at tri distance right before the second recovery week. After the second recovery week a fourth weekly swim is added. This means that Saturday will turn into a swim, run, weights day. Not intense at all. Take a look at my training plan and hopefully you'll donate to No Kid Hungry to help motivate me through this month!

Power lines fell on Lexington's normally busy New Circle Road after a crash, forcing police to divert traffic until it was cleared, authorities said Monday.
The wreck on New Circle Road and Newtown Pike significantly affected traffic.
The crash, during which a passenger car struck a utility pole and sent power lines across the inner and outer loops of New Circle, was cleared by 10:35 a.m., about two hours after the accident happened, said Lt. David Biroschik.
The female driver was not seriously injured in the crash, Biroschik said.
Traffic on the inner loop of New Circle was directed to exit onto Old Frankfort or Leestown Road.
At one point, traffic on inbound Newtown Pike was reportedly backed up to Interstate 75.

5 Unusual Trees Created By God That Are Beautiful To Behold
In considering the magnificence of God, there are a couple of things to look at. And one that tops the list is the tact and excellence He put into creation: From the expanse of the seas to the various species and kinds of living creatures, and even the skies and heavenly bodies.
Every part of creation does point to His greatness, but in this post, we are considering some very unusual trees that were created by God and sure have the ability to keep us in awe.
1. Socotra Dragon Tree
Botanically known as the Dracaena Cinnabari, the Socotra Dragon Tree is also known as the Dragon Blood Tree.
It is a tree located in part of Yemen, in the Arabian Sea, and is a native to the Socotra archipelago. It is endemic to the island of Socotra, in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Yemen.
Due to the harsh life in Socotra, it is assumed that only extraordinary plants can really survive there. It is said, the shape of the tree contributes greatly to its survival ability.
It is interesting to see how God takes His time to build survival characteristics into a unique tree like this and places it to grow right where it has been suited to survive.
2. Baobab Trees in Madagascar
This tree is known for its ability to grow really big. Getting to as high as 80 feet and more, the Baobab Tree is often used for fruits and bark. It grows in 32 different countries.
Almost 75% of the tree's height is all wood and no leaves of branches. It only begins to branch out around the top one-fourth of its entire height.
It is a succulent tree, so during the rainy season, it absorbs and stores water in its vast trunk. This, in turn, enables it to produce fruits that are nutrient-dense in the dry season. Its ability to produce such great fruits even in the dry season is the reason it is often referred to as the "Tree Of Life."
3. Royal Poinciana Tree
Also referred to as "Delonix regia," it is a species of flowering plant that belongs in the bean family Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae.
It is a fast-growing evergreen tree whose beauty is truly outstanding. It is quite abundant in tropical and subtropical areas, with its characteristically bright scarlet fern-like flowers.
When you talk about creatures that demonstrate the beauty of God, you certainly wouldn't skip this beautiful tree.
4. Angel Oak Tree
The Angel Oak Tree is a rather interesting one when compared to the rest of the trees in this list. It is a Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana), located in Angel Oak Park on Johns Island near Charleston, South Carolina.
Like most oak trees, the Angel Oak Tree is a shrub in the genus Quercus of the beech family, Fagaceae. The tree is over 60 feet tall with a wide canopy, and it is believed that the tree is around 400 years old.
It has become a major sight attraction, with several visitors to the park snapping pictures under the tree.
5. Joshua Tree
One would wonder where it got the name - Joshua Tree - from, but it is also known as Yucca Palm. It is an evergreen plant belonging to the lily family.
This tree inhabits desert plains, slopes, ridges, and flat-topped hills on the altitude between 1.300 to 5.900 feet. And that is why it is an amazing expression of God's greatness. Imagine an evergreen plant growing right in the most unfavorable of places!
There are 3 subspecies of Joshua tree that can be found only in Mojave Desert. Joshua tree is numerous in the wild, but scientists estimate that future climate changes may negatively impact survival of this plant. Developing one stem and a dense crown, composed of erect branches, the trees often grow to between 15-40 feet in height and about 1-3 feet in diameter.
The most popular remembrance of this plant is in the Joshua Tree National Park in southern California, characterized by rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes. It has been so named for the region's twisted, bristled Joshua trees: The park straddles the cactus-dotted Colorado Desert and the Mojave Desert, which is higher and cooler.
Each of these types of trees is unique in their own way. They convey the idea that God is both multi-faceted and multi-dimensional. Which of them did you find the most fascinating? Let us know in the comments below which you consider your favorite of them all.

Metra's longtime executive director, Phil Pagano, amassed so much unchallenged power that he felt confident enough to forge the signature of the agency's chairwoman as part of a scheme to improperly give himself nearly half a million dollars in vacation pay, an investigation disclosed Friday.
The allegations were contained in the executive summary of a report released one week after Pagano -- the subject of a rapidly expanding inquiry into financial irregularities -- stepped in front of a Metra train near his home in Crystal Lake.
Besides outlining the "blatantly illegal" advances Pagano took on vacation pay, the investigation also showed Pagano faced serious financial concerns, borrowing $839,000 against the value of a deferred compensation account and an insurance policy. Those concerns were not spelled out in the report.

چکیده انگلیسی
Maternal immune activation (MIA) results in the development of autism in the offspring via hyperactivation of IL-6 signaling. Furthermore, experimental studies showed that the MIA-associated activation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concurrently with IL-6 increases the rate and the severity of hippocampal kindling in mice, thus, offering an explanation for autism–epilepsy comorbidity. We examined whether epileptic phenotype triggered by prenatal exposure to IL-6 and IL-1β combination is restricted to kindling or whether it is reproducible in another model of epilepsy, whereby spontaneous seizures develop following kainic acid (KA)-induced status epilepticus. We also examined whether in mice prenatally exposed to IL-6 and IL-6 + IL-1β, the presence of spontaneous seizures would exacerbate autism-like features. Between days 12 and 16 of pregnancy, C57BL/6J mice received daily injections of IL-6, IL-1β, or IL-6 + IL-1β combination. At postnatal day 40, male offspring were examined for the presence of social behavioral deficit, and status epilepticus was induced by intrahippocampal KA injection. After 6 weeks of monitoring for spontaneous seizures, sociability was tested again. Both IL-6 and IL-6 + IL-1β offspring presented with social behavioral deficit. Prenatal exposure to IL-6 alleviated, while such exposure to IL-6 + IL-1β exacerbated, the severity of KA-induced epilepsy. Increased severity of epilepsy in the IL-6 + IL-1β mice correlated with the improvement of autism-like behavior. We conclude that complex and not necessarily agonistic relationships exist between epileptic and autism-like phenotypes in an animal model of MIA coupled with KA-induced epilepsy and that the nature of these relationships depends on components of MIA involved.

text: Chow Mein and Lo Mein are both usually prepared using soft egg noodles – which are wheat based therefore not making them suitable for a gluten free diet. I've already had a go at making chow mien and you can find the recipe on my website. Lo Mein has more sauce than Chow Mein and the noodles are softer as they are cooked in the broth rather than stir fried like Chow Mein. I experimented and found flat rice noodles worked best for this recipe as a gluten free noodle substitute, hope you like it.

The Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, were often accused of witchcraft in the early days of the movement. The Puritans looked at the mystical experience of the Quakers as being more of the Devil than of God, and felt like this sort of "possession" as it was often referred to, was of the same kind as they saw with those accused of witchcraft. While both the Puritans and the Quakers put an emphasis on miracles and the working of the Divine in the world around them, it was the Puritans who often mocked and abused the Quakers for believing in the curative powers of prayer and Divine intersession. For the Puritans sickness was seen as being directly related to sin, yet for Quakers like George Fox idea was that the human, however sinful, could be freed by their relationship with the "Light" within us all. This philosophy led to the Quaker healing practices often being labeled as witchcraft; witchcraft being seen generally as a subversion of power of the established Church. It became so that, as Sue Friday puts it, "The anti-authoritarian Quakers had not only eliminated an ecclesiastical hierarchy within their organization, but challenged the dominant government and church policies." (Friday, 94). This sort of subversion was viewed on par with that of the so called "witches" that the Puritans were want to persecute. In this way we can see how connected Quakerism actually was to other folk beliefs also being persecuted by the Puritans at that time, e.g. folk magic and folk healing in general.
Women were often attracted to Quakers because of their anti-hierarchy stance and belief that men and women alike were children of God. This was in direct opposition of the Puritan stance on women, which viewed them as the source of all sin and therefore barred them, "the opportunity to participate in church government or the ministry." (Friday, 94). With the Quakers women found equality they hadn't been afforded for years, and for many of them like servants, Quakers gave them a sense of relief they had never known with the Catholic Church, Church of England, or with the Puritans. Because of this treatment of women the Puritans were given even more reason to accuse the Quakers of being witches.
Quakers have since the beginning been a religion focused on a mystical connection with the Divine in a very physical way. In Quaker worship members wait in silence for "that of God" to appear in someone. The manifestation of this presence often appears in the form of a "testimony" that is spoken by a member. Historically Quakers got their name (although it was originally a derogatory term) because members giving testimony would often shake or "quake" when speaking because of the overwhelming presence of God. This "quaking" led Puritans, Anglicans, and Baptists to accuse Quakers of becoming possessed by the Devil. This same accusation often carried over into Quaker healing sessions, which were often held in silence and involved the same sort of "quaking" as in Meeting for Worship. Puritans drew similarities between the healing work of Quakers and that of the folk healers that they were accusing of being witches.
When we look at early Quaker healing practices we have to refer to those few journal sources that we have. One great source is the journal of George Fox, who is often cited as the "founder" of the Friends movement, but really only rallied the already formed groups of Friends together. But, I will say that if it weren't for the outspoken Fox the Friends would have probably all been killed off within a few years of the birth of the movement. In George Fox's journal were are able to get a glimpse of how early Quakers felt about healing. It's filled with miraculous healings, but Fox's writings also contain references to herbalism and folk healing practices. In fact many of the early Quakers were herbalists, doctors, and apothecaries. They were never told to abandon their work when they joined the Quakers, but instead they were simply asked to think about how their work serves God and the world around them. In this was many of the healings we see among Quakers have both a physical element, seen in any herbal treatments or "physicks", and a spiritual element seen in the gathering of Friends for healing sessions. Healing became for Friends as important of a work as worship itself, and often Meetings for Worship included miraculous healings of the members (as an aside it was not uncommon for early Quaker Meetings for Worship to last anywhere from three hours most of the day, so it was likely there would have been many opportunities for public healings as well as member testimonies).
George Fox's relationship with other healers was usually always one of deep respect. In his journal he records many conversations with doctors and herbalists about their craft, and even at one time seeks to create a school that included a medicinal garden and courses on healing. He even often encouraged Friends who were doctors and herbalists to gather together to discuss how the movement affected their craft. Many other Quakers were known healers, although they might have never received any "formal" training. We have handwritten copies of recipe books, which include instructions for preparing both foods and medicinal items, from several Quaker women including William Penn's mother.
Fox's approach to those considered "conjurors" was much along the same lines as other healers and cunning folk. He often stood against them and their work, mostly as these conjurors were seen either as frauds and thieves, or as people who used their "gift" to harm others or make money. This was not an unusual distinction to make at this time. Quakers were much like other folk healers in the distinction between those who use their "gift" for good and those who use it for bad or selfish purposes. Unfortunately the Puritans didn't make any such distinction and often burned both categories as witches.
There's an interesting episode in Fox's journal involving an altercation with a "conjuror" while Fox was imprisoned:
"There was also in the jail, while I was there, a prisoner, a wicked, ungodly man, who was a reputed conjuror. He threatened how he would talk with me, and what he would do to me; but he never had power to open his mouth to me. And once the jailer and he falling out, he threatened he would raise the Devil, and break his house down, so that he made the jailer afraid. Then I was moved of the Lord to go in his power, and rebuke him, and say unto him, 'Come let us see what thou canst do; do thy worst," and I told him the Devil was raised high enough in him already, but the power of God chained him down, so he slunk away from me."
Fox as well as other Quakers were often very fervent in their belief in the immanent power of God in their lives. This belief gave rise to a movement of miraculous healings amongst Quakers. Many of these were recorded in Fox's "Book of Miracles" which was unfortunately destroyed by later Quakers who wanted to separate themselves from what they viewed as their more mystical past. References to the "Book of Miracles" appear in others of Fox's writings, and many of the miracles that would have been recorded can be read about in his Journal, but we don't have even a quarter of what would have appeared in the "Book of Miracles". This belief in miracles was another thing that separated Quakers from other religious groups at the time. By the mid 17th century the Anglican Church was still persecuting anything it considered "Popish" which in this case included much of the folk magic and folk healing traditions of Britain at that time. Along with it the Puritans, who would eventually seize all power in England, were seeking its own reforms of the Anglican Church (you can read about the Puritan influence on the Anglican Church elsewhere) as well as persecuting religious minorities and those it considered "witches". And many of the religious minorities like the Baptists, Ranters, Muggletonians, Diggers, etc. were just seeking to survive, often at the expense of other religious groups. The Baptists were one example of this. They often sided with Anglican and Puritan leaders against the Quakers and helped them imprison and kill many early Friends.
All of this tension regarding Quaker miracles, which were often either completely denied by non-Quakers or viewed as witchcraft, led to a swift decline in religious healings and belief in miracles after the deaths of early Quaker leaders. Today you won't find many modern Quakers talking about miracles, although many Quaker Meetings still hold what they call "Healing Circles" or "Meetings for Healing".
In the end I've chosen to talk on this subject because 1) I'm a Quaker, and 2) this blog is about folk healing and folk magic in it's various forms. To put it in perspective, the healing practices the early Quakers held were influenced by a folk culture that goes back centuries, and represents a living tradition that despite persecution didn't ever die out. It influenced those Baptists and Puritans too who would eventually bring this folk culture over to America. The healing work I do today is a direct descendent of those beliefs that were so often called "witchcraft". I'm the distant relation of healers who managed to keep their traditions alive through persecution and displacement.

Re: Which Disney Animated Film Is The Best?
I do think that Beauty and Beast is the best or Aladdin. They are both old, but are made perfectly and still good for watching. I mean, even I do take time to watch them again sometimes, altough they are made for children.

This wedding was very special to me. I've been close friends with Kelly for over 10 years, so I was honoured (and a little terrified) when she asked me to be both a bridesmaid and the photographer! Luckily I had the wonderful Chrystal Ding to second shoot. Brace yourself for a stunner of a day. The bride and her bridesmaids got ready at the very unique Malmaison - a boutique hotel that used to be a prison. Still in awe at her Jenny Packham dress and Christian Louboutin heels.
The father of the bride's first look at his daughter was one of my favourite moments of the day. The best reaction ever!
The ceremony took place at the epic Bodleian Library.
We then took a stroll around Oxford - I adore the architecture and beautiful old streets.
The reception was hosted by the gorgeous Folly riverside restaurant, where the guests were treated to a boat ride! I loved the little details - like how each table was named after a place in Iceland, and the personalised sake cups as wedding favours.
When one is on a boat, naturally one must blast I'm On A Boat and sing along. So they did.
The wedding favours were personalised sake cups, which Kelly and Ed used to "gan bei" with their guests on the terrace. The Chinese wine is about 70% alcohol - hence the amusing faces!
The couple's first dance was to The Lovecats by The Cure - what a tune!

Monty Roberts is an extraordinary man who has led an extraordinary life. An award winning trainer of championship horses, best selling author and creator of the world-renowned and revolutionary equine training technique and philosophy called Join-Up®
An invitation to join Join-Up
Monty first developed Join Up® to stop the cycle of violence typically accepted in traditional horse breaking and training. Convinced there must be a more effective and gentle method, he created a non violent training system using the horse's own methods of communication and herd behaviour now known worldwide as Join–Up. The objective of Join-Up is to create a willing "partnership" in which the horse's performance can flourish to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of forced obedience.
The Join- Up training method relies on horse and owner or trainer establishing a bond of mutual communication, respect and trust. "You must come to understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse, what we can do is to create a safe and comfortable environment in which he can learn".
The principles found in Join-Up provide a non violent basis for all work with horses by Riders, Trainers, Veterinarians, Vet Techs, Farriers and Stud Managers – virtually anyone who works with horses can use these methods to increase their understanding and effectiveness in helping horses fulfil their potential.
The products featured on this site offer practical Problem Solving Solutions, Training Advice and Equipment that will assist you to become a better horseman and help make the world a better place for horses…
This is my life's work.

Bearing friction
Low friction bearings are often important for efficiency, to reduce wear and to facilitate high speeds. Essentially, a bearing can reduce friction by virtue of its shape, by its material, or by introducing and containing a fluid between surfaces.
By shape, gains advantage usually by using spheres or rollers.
By material, exploits the nature of the bearing material used. (An example would be using plastics that have low surface friction.)
By fluid, exploits the low viscosity of a layer of fluid, such as a lubricant or as a pressurized medium to keep the two solid parts from touching.
By fields, exploits electromagnetic fields, such as magnetic fields, to keep solid parts from touching.
Combinations of these can even be employed with the same bearing. An example of this is where the cage is made of plastic, and it separates the rollers/balls, which reduce friction by their shape and finish.
